Screen shot 2009-10-21 at 11.13.18 AM.pngI told her that it was intended to be a compliment à la you’re the Money Honey but powerful and in leather and carrying a whip but I don’t think it helped much. MDubs did concede, however, that “it could be worse” and that her mother “loves” the moniker which really? Is all we’re after here: the mom endorsement. Unfortunately Vikram Pandit was not present at the party last night for Andrew Ross Sorkin’s new book, Too Big To Fail, as a demo on the spreader and truss bar would’ve been nice but maybe next time. John Mack was there, though not offering himself up for an impromptu primer. JM held court in the back room for most of the evening, where he told us that contrary to popular belief he is “not retiring” but merely shedding the CEO title. Being Chairman of Morgan Stanley is a full-time job, and he will be in the office everyday come January, for those of you thinking he’d be taking it easy in North Carolina. No Lloyd Blankfein, which stung, but his loss, right? We don’t need that guy and his blood sucking ways. Jamie Dimon did his part repping for the “hot piece of ass” CEO contingent and fresh off an afternoon set at the Laugh Factory was Bill Ackman, on a roll with the prison warden jokes. Also working the room:


A fit looking Ken Griffin (he’s been working out), yogi-cum-triathlete Dan Loeb, Ron Perelman, retired Car Czar Steve Rattner, Barry Diller, Maria Bartiromo, Becky Quick, Carl Quintanilla, Rob Kindler, Jeff Zucker, producer Brian Grazer, who cornered Mack and who fingers crossed will have the vision to cast GOB* in whatever he comes up with for a possible crisis flick (though I’m not sure in which role so feel free to throw out some ideas), and Jack Welch, disease free!
Missed: Ken Lewis, Dick Fuld. The former absence is understandable– he was probably throwing his own kegger. But what is Dick’s excuse?
*Grazer produced Arrested Development.

    The right side of her face says: “I’m a sane, reasonable person”
    The left side of her face says: “I just got a shot full of crazy and you’re my target…you have a 20 second head start.”

    This post was as poorly written as Greg’s posts are boring.

  24. Posted by guest | October 21, 2009 at 12:07 PM

    23 = dollar dom (or someone who wasn’t invited)

    @20
    Well you came and you gave me your hand bridge with out taking, but CNBC sent you away, oh Mandy.
    After I came on your face you held me and stopped me from shaking, and I need you today, oh Mandy!
    Come back soon!

    @23 Sorry it doesn’t compare to the novel you’ve been working on during your free time at Citigroup.

    @Bess Levin: how did you know I work at citi? Also while I have contemplated writing a novel while at work, I have yet to get around to it…
    As a side, I want to note that as you took my comment to be an insult which means you probably are as bored by Greg’s articles as I am.

    @30 ip look-ups are your friend.

    @32 and 33…Thank you. I feel vilified…like I was the only one.
    MW could beat me and make me feel cheap, ride me hard and put me away wet. I’d love it.

  35. Posted by guest | October 21, 2009 at 2:03 PM

    @20 — love your posts, but when I read them the voice in my head sounds like Murray, manger for Flight of the Conchords

  36. Posted by Becky Boot Fan | October 21, 2009 at 2:12 PM

    Bess…for the record, you could mistreat me as well.

    DNS lookups aside, the first sentence of this post is fairly confusing.

  38. Posted by guest | October 21, 2009 at 2:56 PM

    She is quite mannish

  39. Posted by guest | October 21, 2009 at 9:13 PM

    What does she think of her other moniker, “4-Roper”?

  40. Posted by guest | October 21, 2009 at 9:53 PM

    @37 what’s confusing about it? bess told MW the dollar dom is a take off on “the money honey” and it was intended as a compliment but mw was unmoved.
